Mabon Rites on Ainsdale Beach


This whole beach event was brought into being when our venue booking was usurped.  With limited options we spread our horizons and went in search of the greatest canopy under which we could erect our temple.  Below are the texts of two internet posts that I made to those who had joined us on the beach.

What a great idea to get sand in our toes and starlight on our heads as the sun went down and the moon rose high in to the western aspect of our sky.  Out to sea and far away our ancients be waiting in a world beyond duality.

Last night from the ending of the land formed and featured by the overlapping surging seas we stood on shifting sands under an equally bright dark moon that seemed so well set for Mabon in that evening's darkening sky, it appeared as a seed of light holding promise of brighter days to come and warmth to return once winter has been and gone. The half bright moon was showing us a sign that we are not left behind when the summer passes away and night takes over day.
